Members
Responsibilities
All members are required to:
- Complete 4 library session rosters per year.
- Complete stocktake every year.
Cleaning Toys
Please clean toys (wipe with anti-bacterial wipes) before returning them.
Please wash costumes before returning them.
We are committed to providing our children with safe, clean and well maintained toys at all times.
For a household affected by Covid please advise so a thorough clean of the toys can be undertaken.
Stocktake
The Toy Library conducts an audit of all toys at the end of every year (Nov/Dec). All members are required to return the toys to the Toy Library beforehand.
Members or a relative need to complete stocktake every year. Sorry, for safety reasons, children are not permitted to attend stocktake.
Stocktake is held at the toy library but if unable to attend, we request that you take some items home to clean such as puzzles, board games or costumes. If you do not notify us that you are unable to attend, we will issue a $20 fine.
The Toy Library closes for 6 weeks after stocktake for the Christmas holiday period.
Conditions of Borrowing
Fines are levied for late returns or missing toys.
Returns
The loan period is 4 weeks. After this period, a fine of $1 per session, per toy borrowed, applies.
Toys that are due on a day we are not open no late fines will be issued. Please return the toys the following week
Missing pieces
Each toy box is labelled with the contents. Members should check that all pieces listed on the toy label are present and in good condition when they first borrow the toy and when they return it.
Broken toys
Members will not be fined for a broken toy if it is damaged from age or regular wear & tear.
If the toy damage is extensive or done on purpose, the member will have to pay for the toy repair or replacement.
